Chapter 10

“Hey ... Laur. Sorry I haven’t been in touch much. I really meant to,” Kate said over the phone to Laurel. “How was your Thanksgiving?”

“It was okay.” Laurel sounded forlorn.

“Look, Laurel,” Kate said, eager to skip past the social niceties. “You know that plant you showed me? The orgasm plant? I need you to tell where you got it.”

Laurel gritted her teeth. “I can’t tell you. Don’t worry about it, okay? Just forget I ever showed it to you.”

“Yeah, um, I can’t,” Kate argued. “Some of the girls took it back to the sorority house, and now everyone’s acting really fucking weird.”

“What!?” Laurel exclaimed. “No! Oh no no no no! Oh fuck! I am sooo fucked!”

“Laurel...,”

“They’re going to kill me!” Laurel said, her voice cracking with fear.

“Calm down!” Kate insisted. She had seen Laurel melt down over smaller things than this. “The girls aren’t going to kill you. I just need your help figuring this out.”

“Not them!” Laurel argued. “If the Rocky Mountain Coven finds out, they will kill me! They are not forgiving!”

“You’re not making sense,” Kate told her, hoping to snap her back to her senses. Laurel had always been out there, but Kate had never heard her genuinely crazy before.

“It’s a fucking demon, Kate,” Laurel screamed. “I summoned a fucking demon, for you! I told you that it wasn’t safe without precautions! I begged you to keep it a secret! I ... I...” Laurel hung up and cried into her hands.

A half hour later, Laurel sent Kate a text asking if she could come to Kate’s apartment.

When Kate answered the door, Laurel walked in and paced manically. “It’s okay,” Laurel began muttering, “we’ve got time. As long as it doesn’t come in contact with semen we’ve got time.”

“What happens if it gets semen?” Kate asked nervously while closing the door.

“Then it will put demon babies in all their tummies, so let’s not let that happen!” Laurel answered. “You said everyone was acting weird - how are they acting?”

“Laurel, it already did absorb semen or whatever. It was fucking me at the time. Are you saying it tried to impregnate me?” Kate explained. “I’m on the pill.”

“Oh,” Laurel said. She stopped her nervous movements and sat on the couch. “I don’t think that helps.”

“No - this is bullshit,” Kate decided. “You’re fucking crazy.”

“Kate...,” Laurel said, suddenly empathetic, “I don’t have time to do the whole ‘magic is real’ thing. That takes preparation. You said the girls were acting weird. Isn’t what you’ve witnessed enough?”

Kate’s glance alternated between Laurel’s eyes and the floor. Finally, she sighed: “I don’t know. Maybe.”

“They’re acting protective of it?” Laurel asked. “And trying to get other girls to have sex with it? Like a cult?”

Kate nodded again.

“I’m sorry,” Laurel said pleadingly.

Kate sighed. “Wait, so, you said you took precautions with me? So maybe that protected me from impregnation?”

Laurel shook her head. “That was only for the mind control. But, I think I can fix it.” Laurel looked around the apartment. “You don’t have any house plants around here do you?”

Kate shook her head.

“Hmm,” Laurel said, thinking aloud. “It would actually be easier with sex magic, but there’s nobody having sex nearby.”

Kate gave Laurel a questioning look. “Sex? That’s all you need? And then, what, you give me some kind of voodoo abortion or something?”

“Yeah,” Laurel answered. She was secretly glad that Kate’s skepticism didn’t seem to be getting in the way any more.

Kate dialed her phone. “Fuck, no answer. Baz said his phone hasn’t been holding a charge very well lately.”

Kate wheeled out onto the balcony. There were two college boys loitering near the pool, drinking. “Hey - you guys! Come here. Unit 202,” she yelled to them.

“Does it have to be sex sex, or will BJs do?” Kate asked as she waited for the boys.

“A blowjob is fine,” Laurel answered.

The doorbell rang and Kate answered it. “Hey guys. So we’re casting a magic spell and we need fresh sperm. Which one of you wants a blowjob?”

The taller guy with the buzz cut looked Laurel up and down. “How about both of us?”

The shorter guy with long hair and glasses said, “Magic spell? You really expect us to believe that?”

Kate shot him a stern look. “Do you really care enough to blow this opportunity?” She asked.

“Okay, so, like, who gets who?” The tall guy said, eyeing Laurel again.

“I’ll take care of you both - she’s off limits,” Kate told them. “You’ll be able to do your thing, right?” She said to Laurel as she shifted to the couch.

The boys flipped a coin and the tall guy went first. As instructed, he got partly on the couch in front her Kate with his hard dick in her face. Kate started sucking and working her hands all over his package. Laurel stood behind Kate with her hands on Kate’s shoulder, with a glazed look in her eye.”
